Oh, utter and complete joy! The Boom DJ just announced that today is the 82nd birthday of Bruce Johnston, born in Peoria Illinois. Why such joy? Because he wasn't! That was a small joke I made in a 1985 issue of Beach Boys Stomp, which has been duly repeated in print and on air ever since. Boy was born in Chicago as Benjamin Baldwin. So why Peoria? Because, as Wikipedia would have it, "Will it play in Peoria? is an American English figure of speech that is traditionally used to ask whether a given product, person, promotional theme, or event will appeal to mainstream United States audiences". Never thought it'd still be cropping up nearly 40 years later.  |

The newbie BB.  |

Happy birthday, Bruce! I'm always gushing about your songs- thank you so much for Disney Girls which got me through some very hard days.
